As birthdays come and go it's nice to have some documentation of that special day. Thus is the tale of Carly's third birthday. A week before the fateful day Carly told Grandma Stratford that what she wanted for her birthday was a talking teapot. This was a surprise since Carly hadn't told anyone what she wanted yet. Then her birthday cards came; one from Grandma and Grandpa Ford, Grandma Stratford, and Bishop Davis. She was so excited. Her little face lit up. She absolutely loves those cards! The one that came from the Ford Grandparents was accidentally sent to the wrong residence. The elderly man who received the card drove over to our house. He had noticed that the envelope was addressed to a Miss Carly Beth Stratford from Grandma and Grandpas Ford. He knew that it was for a special girl on a special day. Carly was overjoyed to have gotten a letter. I was walking from the bus-stop and happened to be there as the man left. It's so nice to think of the trouble that he went to just so Carly could get the card by her birthday.
The making of the cake was originally Katie's duty. My was simply to bake it. So I go down to Katie's room on a Saturday morning. Katie of course is still half-asleep. Carly wanted a pink flower cake. So Katie told me to bake two flower cakes so that there could be a frosting filling in the middle. I did as she said and the finished cake turned out to be gigantic! Anyway, Mom and I ended up frosting the cake and somehow made enough frosting to cover the monstrous thing.
We went to Grandma Stratford's house on Sunday for Carly's birthday party. Carly did get a talking tea pot set from Grandma.
